McCain's political positions are what remain utterly confusing -- it's hard to think of another veteran politician whose political philosophy is as murky as his.

What if we were to disqualify all candidates with ties to delusional religious folks? A politician should not be held accountable for the views of every author he has read or every preacher he has heard.

McCain is walking into the buzzsaw of denouncing the evangelical community again. Walking away this time is going to be more difficult than he anticipates.

The Christian Holy Week provides an opportune moment for looking at how the names "Christianity" and "Jesus" have been stolen by people who preach and do the opposite of what Jesus taught.

While a few eyebrows have been raised at the endorsements of Hagee and Parsley, there's been no public outcry. But when Barack Obama's pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, dares speak ill of the United States all holy hell breaks loose.

McCain will have to get right with God, and by that I don't mean the more tolerant, less politically involved deity of Catholics and mainline Protestants. I am referring to the God of Pat Robertson.
